KINGSTON, May 21.-Before editor
O'Brien left Ottawa this afternoon he
heard that the Orangemen in this
city were arranging to give him a
warm reception. Kingston has a pop
ulation OF Is 1000, Of whom 5000 are
Catholics. There are only eight
policemen. All of them, in command
of Chief Hersey, were in waiting, to
the surprise OF O'Brien and his party.
Not a dissenting voice was heard in the
storm of cheers which arose as O'Brien
entered his carriage.
Mr.. O'Brien, in opening his remarks,
won at once the Ulster Protestants,
who were present, and who form a
large section OF the population. he
asserted that the Orange farmers in
North Ireland were as much oppressed
as the Catholic farmers. "My mis-
sion," he exclaimed, sis not to stir up
| strife, but to blend the Orange and the
Green" This sentiment at nee won
over the descendants of the Ulster far
mers. They eheered as heartily as
anybody else. At $50 o'clock a noise
was heard outside the hall, where
several hundred men and boys had
collected, crying: "God save the
Queen" and groaning for O'Brien.
| Every cheer which went up inside the
hall was answered by a loud roar and
an angry response from without. The
crowd outside was now swollen to i'm
mense proportions. The meeting was
brought to an end by a few remarks
from the Chairman, j. j. Behan, who
told the audience to 60 home peace
ably. Then the people started out,
O'Brien being in the rear. Thinking
this would be too dangerous O'Brlen's
friends hurried him to the front. He
stepped on the sidewalk, wearing. as
usual, a tall hat. The moment the
Orangemen on the opposite side of the
street saw him, they raised savage
wells and cried: "There he is" and
rushed across the street. Cobble-
stones and bricks began flying like
hail. The women screamed, and a
general confusion reigned. "Ah, they
are at it again." said O'Brien, in q
tone of mournful regret rather than
anger. Eyes, yes" roared the mob,
"There he is. Drag him out here on
the street. Kill him. Choke him, teal
him asunder." They almost burst
through O'Brien's body guard, which
consisted of Americans, special cor.
respondents, and local officers of the
National League. A man changed
hats with O'Brien, as that worn by
the latter furnished a target for the
mob, and as the party turned into
Wellington street another shower Of
bricks and stones came spinning
through the crowd. O'Brien and his
friends bent their heads, but received
missiles on the body. At length
O'Brien disappeared through an alley
and was lost to the crowd. The mot
rushed to the Burnett House, think
ing O'Brien was there, shouting etc
hell with home rule" Although
O'Brien was not there, they fired
volleys of stones at the windows and
groaned and yelled to their hearts con.
tent. j. M. Wall, the wounded cor.
respondent, attempted to pass in front
of the hotel on the way to the telegraph
office, but his bandaged head at
tracted the attention of the Orange
men, who went for him with a rush.
He escaped down a side street how
ever.
The Canadian Freeman, an Irish
Catholic organ, vas wrecked.
81 will protect you to the hotel"
said Mayor Carson. 81 will call out
the artillery" "You WILL" exclaimed
O'Brien, sarcastically. 81 don't want
your protection now. You saw a mob
of demons, 500 strong, outside of that
hall thirsting for my blood, while l
was addressing a ~peaceable meeting,
and you didn't disperse them. Where
was your artillery then, sir? Lans-
downe and Rowland winked at the ef-
forts to murder me in Toronto, and
now Lansdowne and you wink at the
efforts to murder me here. / am not
going to give you the credit of having
protected my life, when you could
have had it if you wished, but didn't"
The Mayor said no more. The POI
licemen acted just the same as those
at Toronto. In the early part of the
evening they would not permit any
O'Brienite to wait on the outside of
the hall, and even said, move on"
to the American correspondents who
were awaiting O'Brien's arrival. But
the moment the Orangemen appeared
on the opposite side of the street,
many, with clubs and sticks in
their hands, there was no in
reference by the police. They were
allowed to hiss and groan until O'Brien
came out. When the latter did come
out the policemen, instead of making
a circle around him, abandoned him,
and left him to the tender mercies of
the yelling Orangemen, who dashed
upon him. The policemen were the
first to scatter when the stone throw
ing commenced. The mob remained
outside the hall two hours waiting to
kill O'Brien.
